After the invasion of US troops on April 27, 1945, he was initially left in office by military commander Major Craig S. Mattice. After the intervention of an "anti-fascist committee of Kaufbeurer citizens" under the leadership of the Social Democrat Robert Glöggler, the military government of Kaufbeur carried out an inspection, as a result of which the US inspector Lieutenant Colonel Wolfson both Deinhardt and Mattice were removed from their offices at the end of June 1945.
